 Lesson
Use Adverbs of Manner, Place
1 and Time in Sentences

Lots of exciting things can happen in different places at

different times. Being able to tell how, when, and where events
happen helps in adding details and developing clarity in expressing
ideas, oral or written. To do this, a pupil like you should learn
about adverbs.
This module provides you with a discussion on adverbs as
well as fun activities and exercises for you to be able to use adverbs
of manner, time, and place in sentences effectively.

You are about to read a short poem in

a little while. Before that, let us first define
the difficult words that you will encounter.

What’s New

Look for a clue word in the sentence that will help you unlock
the meaning of the underlined word.

Acting wildly or madly in the school premises can disturb

other classes.

That was quick! What helped

you find the meaning of the unfamiliar
word? How will you describe the
relationship between these words?
Was it easy or difficult? Here is a
little help from Kuya Pat.

3 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
 The pair of words from the sentence: madly
and wildly show a word presented again using
simpler language.
The word which gave you clue to unlock the
meaning of the difficult word is called Context
Clue.
In addition, madly and wildly are also
called ADVERBS. You will learn more about it as
you go along this module. Keep moving learner.

One Time!

Read and analyze each sentence carefully. Use context clues

to unlock the meaning of underlined words. Write the answers on
your answer sheet.
1. I cannot merely or simply sleep without doing my homework.
2. We are told to pace, that is walking, real silently along
hallways and corridors.
3. I organize my papers using binders or folders, so they won’t
be lost.
4. My best friend and I are inseparable; we are impossible to
separate.
5. Our workbooks, that is, textbooks, provide us with valuable
lessons.
6. We help our teacher put up stencils or decorations in our
classroom.
7. Thanks to calculators - small computers that do math
computations - for helping us with difficult problems.
8. My seatmate provided or gave me papers when I forget mine.
9. I think that room is strange or unusual to look at.
10. The class president is our ruler; he is the leader.

Look at the Answer Key on page 18.

If your score is—
8-10: Great work! You easily found
the clue words on the context using
restatements.
7 and below: Oops! You need more
practice. Read.

4 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
 Well done learner! You already know the
meaning of the difficult words found in the poem.
You are ready to move to the next part now. You
can choose if you still want to continue or take a
short break. Have fun reading and learning!

Think About This!

What will you do if your school supplies
suddenly talk and act like real people? Let us take
the time to read the short poem about a very
strange or unusual dream. Try to remember
important details from the text.

A Dream of School Supplies

I had a dream of school supplies,
where paperclips could talk;
where poster paper hung around
with marking pens and chalk.

The stationery idled

while the pencils madly raced.
The clocks went ’round in circles,
and the glue sticks merely paced.

The binders were inseparable.

They bonded with the tape.
The workbooks exercised
and helped the stencils stay in shape.

Some calculators added

to the numbers in this land,
and music was provided by
a singing rubber band.

My dream was strange and truly cool,

but this was even cooler:
The dictionaries all looked up to me.
I was the ruler.

2019, www.poetry4kids.com/poems/a-dream-of-school-supplies/

5 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
 That was funny, right? You might want
to read the poem again before you answer the
questions below. Write the answers on your
answer sheet.

Comprehension Questions:
1. What can the paperclips do?
2. Which two things were inseparable?
3. What did the person talking in the poem become?
4. Can this happen in real life? Why or why not?
5. How should you take care of your school supplies?

Review your answers before

checking them using the Answer
Key on page18.

If you got 4-5: Great! It means

you understood the poem well so
you can now go to the next part of
this module.

If you got 3 and below: Oops!

You need to read the poem to
understand it better. You can do it.

6 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
 What is It

In this module, we will be focusing

on ADVERBS.
Let us first try to remember what
adverbs are.

The child talks proudly about how he saved his kitten.

(The adverb proudly describes the verb talks.)

Our new park is strangely quiet.

(The adverb strangely modifies the adjective quiet.)

My teacher is almost always busy.

(The adverb almost modifies the adverb always.)

From the examples given above,

we can say that an adverb may
describe or modify a verb, an
adjective, or another adverb.
Now, there is more information
for you to know.
Focus and understand them
carefully, okay? Here are the
sentences from the poem.

A.
1. The pencils raced madly.
2. Rubber bands sang loudly.

What do the underlined words express?

M N N R

What questions do they answer?

H W

Try to answer before moving on.

7 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
 You are right! They tell about manner and answer the
question how.

Here are more examples:

Grandmother walks slowly down the stairs.

Mom asked kindly if we still want more food.
Father told us clearly how to get there.
Her hair swayed wildly during the trip.

REMEMBER:
Adverbs of manner tell how
things are done. They answer the
question “how.” Most adverbs of
manner are formed from adjectives.
Examples: happy-happily
easy-easily
slow- slowly
silent-silently
Source: Remember, K to 12 English 4,
Learners’ Material, 299.

B.
1. The poster paper hung on the walls.
2. The clock’s hand went around the circle.

What do the underlined words express?

P A C

What question do these words answer?

W H E E

Try to answer before moving on.

Right! They tell about the place and

answer the question where.
Some adverbs of place also function as
prepositions.
The most common are AT, IN and ON.
Let us differentiate the uses of these three.

8 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
 In general, we use at for a point
Examples:
Jane is waiting at the bus stop for you.
We stopped at the end of the street.
When will you arrive at the office?

In for an enclosed area

Examples:
Sarah opened the front door and went in.
I am staying in tonight.

On for a surface
Examples:
You are standing on my foot.
The van just drove on.

Here are more examples:

I cannot find it anywhere.
He put the book on the shelf above.
Do you think we can swim across?

Source: Judith Pett, “Adverbs of Place: Full List with Examples and
Exercises”, www.onlineteachersuk.com/adverbs-of-place/

REMEMBER:
The underlined words and the phrases
express Adverb of Place. A word that
answers “where” is an adverb of place.

C.
1. I had an unusual dream last night.
2. My school supplies look normal today.

What do the underlined words express?

T M E

What question do these words answer?

W H N
Try to answer before moving on.

Right! They tell about time and answer the question when.

9 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
Let us read more examples of it.

We plan to leave in the morning.

The team practiced last Monday.
Mother will teach me how to bake today.

REMEMBER:
The underlined words and phrases above
express Adverb of Time. Adverbs of time tell
“when” or how an action is done.
Let us differentiate the three kinds of
adverbs using the table below.

ADVERBS What question does it answer?

Manner How?
Place Where?
Time When?

Let us try if you were able to get it right. Here

is a Quick Check! On your answer sheet, write
AP if the phrase is an adverb of place, AT for
adverb of time, and AM for Adverb of Manner.

1. _____ last week

2. _____ at home
3. _____ noisily
4. _____ in October
5. _____ gently
6. _____ at the park
7. _____ behind the door

10 CO_Q3_English 4_ Module 1
 Check your work. Look for the
answers on page 18.
Wow! You must have gotten
everything correctly!
Always think of the question that
can be answered by the adverbs so that
you can identify and use them
correctly.
Adverb of manner answers how;
adverb of time answers when; and
adverb of place answers where.
Here are more! You can choose to
continue or take a short break.
